Breach of duties fixed by Texan law
|
|
Being a member of a society, man is bound to observe certain rules and regulations made by the society. The basis of a vast majority of these rules was from the religious teachings of those times. For example, to give food to a man who is starving, to save a man who is drowning in a river etc. Helping such persons is our social and religious duty. But we are not bound by law to observe these duties. On the other hand tortious liability arises from breach of a duty fixed by law.
In cases of breach of such duties the aggrieved party can initiate legal proceedings against the wrongdoers in a court of law. The court after hearing both sides may award damages to the plaintiff, if there is a genuine fact worth the compensation. But for breach of social and religious duties a judge cannot be compelled to give damages to any person.
The texans for public justice, a renowned watchdog has been in the forefront for a long time campaigning for path breaking reforms in the Texan judiciary. An august body with a wide membership of people drawn from different walks of life in Texas, the Texans for Public Justice could mobilise public opinion like never before.
Many professionals and businesses in Texas have been hauled to courts over the products and services offered by them. They have been forced to pay up large sums of money mainly in lawsuits filed by certain litigants alleging breach of contract and trust. The texans for public justice could expose the double-dealings of these lawyers and their equally dishonest clients.
